“The Way We Talk” Film Screening and Conversation

We are delighted to invite you to the “The Way We Talk” Screening and Conversation, a key highlight of the Diversity and Inclusion Festival 2024/25 at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK). This film explores the lives and growth of three young deaf individuals. The event aims to provide insights into “deaf identity” and the importance of embracing diverse perspectives and inclusion in society. Notably, some scenes were filmed on the CUHK campus!

We are deeply honoured to have invited Adam Wong (Director), Chung Suet-ying (Best Actress of 61st Golden Horse Awards), and Marco Ng (Actor) to share their experience and insights following the screening.

Bound by love and friendship, the three embark on a self-discovering journey with their own moments of pain.
